“If you think watching television is adequate, I think there is something deficient in you then your understanding of Catholic spirituality and liturgy.”
Following the lifting of ban on churches and other places of worship by the federal government, the Catholic Archbishop of Abuja Metropolitan See, Most Rev. Ignatius Kaigama on Sunday in Abuja said worshipping God through television is very deficient.
Kaigama who also donated items to the church further cautioned Christians who now think that worshipping God through television is also appropriate, arguing that, such approach has great consequences on the spiritual life of the people. But they forgot that the spiritual is a great aspect that they should have considered. Now that we are allowed to worship they would see the difference. God will do something, I can tell you.
“The spirit is there, so that element was lacking. You can see today, the attendance of people observing social distancing and face masking can see the enthusiasm.It’s a big message to government and all who care and those in the world we think they are powerful, is a message that you can’t exclude the spiritual. The spiritual is a core element of humanity, you can’t exclude.”
